What do you want him to say? The man has a voracious appetite for set dressing.

Well, you've already discovered the one thing Civ VI definitively has over its predecessors: you can play it on the go. If you compare it to Civ IV one-to-one you'll walk away disheartened, but if you have that itch for "one... more... turn...", and if you're a Civ fan you absolutely do, it's...

I suppose you have a point there. Far be it for me to badwrongfun somebody else. It's an approach to TTRPGs that is, frankly alien to me, and runs counter to the spirit what I feel the potential of the genre, but I also can't deny that it has a major role in the history of the genre

Torn between the anarcho-capitalists and the buddhists????

I mean, definitely the Revolutionary League, with shades of Bleak Cabal.

That's entirely fair. But then, the same is also true for you.

I guess this is kind of my point. It's a personality problem, not a game design problem. There's a lot of memes about "inventing a person to be mad at"... this feels a lot like inventing a person to be concerned about. A person who truly cares about how much they are contributing are much more...

I will say that, at least anecdotally, I have only seen the number of people playing TTRPGs going up and up

I will say, the one thing I don't get and probably never will is this idea that you shouldn't/can't have optimizers and non-optimizers in the same group. It all ties into this idea that every PC should be balanced... I just don't get it? It's not only okay but specifically designed to make some...

Oh course, I will take those sculptures for a pittance of coin and a luxury good I have five copies of, why thank you

I hadn't played it since the big update with the fishing and whatnot and I was gobsmacked by just how good it looked, even on my Switch Lite.

Civilization VI has been palette-cleanser for video game ennui for years now and I'm in incredibly deep after crashing out hard from what is probably the best game I've ever played so I'm three games deep and having an absolute blast buying victory as Mansa Musa

LOL, Switch Skyrim was what I was playing until I got sucked in by Clair Obscur. I often get video game ennui after finishing a really good game. I don't think I've ever played a game so good that I've actually grieved being done with a game before... which is funny considering that the game is...

I've softened my stance on optimization from in the past, where I thought it was a pox on the hobby. Optimizers are not only perfectly fine but helpful in a lot of instances. It really helps to know the upper limits of your game, and nobody else does it better. They only become problematic when...

Playing some random Civ VI games on my Switch as a palette cleanser after one of the greatest gaming experiences in my life, might move on to playing Split Fiction with the wife at some point.

Just in here? :p
